Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
The primary objective of this study is to compare 24 hour post-operative cumulative analgesic consumption between erector spinae plane (ESP) block with local wound infiltration of anaesthesia (LWIA) after open lumbar spine fusion surgeries.Timepoint: 24 hours post surgery

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
1. Comparison of static pain, scores between the 2 groups, as assessed by the verbal numeric rating scale (VNRS) at 0, 1, 6, 12 and 24 hours 2. Comparison of dynamic pain score between the 2 groups, as assessed by the verbal numeric rating scale (VNRS) at12 and 24 hours. 3. Comparison of quality of recovery (QOR-40) score between the 2 groups at postoperative day 2. 4. Postoperative nausea and vomiting will be noted and graded according to a standard PONV scoring system.Timepoint: At 0, 1, 6, 12, 24 hours for static pain and at 12 and 24 hours for dynamic pain. QOR-40 on day two.
